How to Make Spicy Glazed Sweet Onions

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon red curry paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until well combined.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are almost tender but still retain some crispness.
Remove the lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are glazed and caramelized.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Stir to combine.
Garnish with red pepper flakes (to taste) and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
